Common Issues & Fixes

Reverse Camera Showing No Signal (Triggering but No Display)

The reverse camera is triggering but showing No Signal error, even though you have the correct yellow RCA plug connected.

Unplug the black plug from the car side that is connected to the main harness, as shown in the photo below. This black plug is not intended for the head unit and should not be connected to our harness. It is meant for another function, not for the radio.

1. Access the Head Unit

Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the head unit is safely accessible.

2. Identify the Black Plug

Find the black plug connected to the main harness. This black plug from the car side is fitted to one of the plugs on the main harness but it is not intended for the head unit and should not be connected to the main harness.

3. Unplug the Black Cable

Carefully unplug the black cable from the main harness. Ensure not to disturb other connections.

4. Test the Reverse Camera

Turn on the vehicle and shift into reverse to test if the camera signal is now displayed correctly on the head unit.

5. Secure Connections

If the reverse camera is now working, ensure all connections are secure.

6. Final Checks

Perform a final check by shifting into reverse a few times to confirm the issue is resolved.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the no signal issue with your reverse camera.

Factory Camera Settings

Factory Camera – Static Display

If the camera works but the screen shows static:

  1. Go to Settings > Car Infotainment > About Device > Fill in password 8878 > Backcar Setup.

  2. Cam Type, select (0 CVBS) > CamFormat, select (1: NTSC or 2: PAL) choose the one based on what your factory camera uses but majority uses NTSC.

  3. Tap SAVE > OK to reboot.

  4. Your reverse camera should start working after the reboot.

If you also have the camera cable shown in image below, here's how you should wire it:

4-pin plug: to the 4-pin plug of car's side.

Black GND wire: to the main harness' GND wire or use F-CAM plug GND.

Yellow wire: to the main harness' orange with black stripe wire or red 12v wire from main harness. Ideally, you only want the camera to receive power when in reverse so we recommend using our orange with black stripe wire.

Steering Wheel Control Not Working

If you've upgraded your Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series (2016–2021 GXL, Altitude) with a VHEDIA head unit but the steering wheel controls (SWC) aren't working this guide covers what might be going on and how to fix it.

While most vehicles use CANBUS to communicate with steering wheel controls, some Toyota LandCruiser models — especially in the GXL range — may require a different setup or a specific harness to get the buttons working properly with your VHEDIA head unit.

1. Contact VHEDIA Support

Before making any wiring changes, please reach out to our Customer Support team via:

We'll help evaluate your vehicle’s setup and determine if a specific harness is needed for your steering wheel controls to function correctly. In most cases, once we confirm your vehicle’s configuration, we’ll send out the correct harness if required.

2.  Install the New Harness (If Provided)

Once you receive the new harness from us, follow these steps carefully:

  • Disconnect the wire labelled "AD" → Then connect it to the plug labelled "AD2"

  • Disconnect the wire labelled "Reverse" → This step is optional and only needed for troubleshooting.

If your reverse camera stops working after this, simply reconnect the Reverse wire.
